Scott Richard Crapo

Our hero, Scott Richard Crapo, peacefully passed away in the early hours of May 14, 2024, after courageously battling Parkinson's disease. His unwavering determination and resilience were evident throughout his journey. In his final days, Scott found solace in the embrace of his cherished family and the comforting prayers and support of many.

Scott came into the world in Murray, Utah, as the beloved son of Richard and Maxine Stowe Crapo. His early years were filled with the warmth of a loving home, abundant in laughter, tradition, and faith. As the middle child among five siblings, he learned life's invaluable lessons: the importance of hard work, integrity, financial responsibility, and service to others. Scott was loyal to his friends and family, with a knack for finding humor in every situation. His insatiable curiosity drove him to constantly ask questions and understand how everything worked, along with the determination to fix it when it didn't.

Scott graduated from Jordan High School, the exceptional Class of '73, where he immersed himself in basketball, baseball, tennis, student government, and choir, solidifying friendships that would bless and enrich his life for years to come. After graduation, he pursued his education at BYU, where he met his beloved "Susie." Following his time at BYU, Scott served a mission in Stockholm, Sweden, where he formed lasting relationships and deepened his faith. Upon his return, he married his forever companion in the Salt Lake Temple, beginning their life adventures. They found immense joy in raising their four children, creating memories and love that will endure forever. They always felt as though they were led to Kaysville, a place that embodied the perfect setting and community for them.

For 40 years, Scott dedicated his professional life to the Department of Public Affairs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This commitment offered him a wealth of diverse experiences and unique opportunities that shaped his career.

While Scott served in various church leadership capacities, his true passion lay in connecting with individuals on a personal level. He was regarded as a "best friend" by many he encountered. He understood that the key to happiness lay in the relationships he cultivated.

Scott is survived by his wife Susan and their children: Erin (Greg) Flint, Cherstin (Bryan) German, Jordan (Zac) Smith, and Luke (Kelsey) Crapo. He is also survived by their nine grandchildren: Olivia, Caleb, Addison, Berkley, Macy, Samantha, Isaac, Evie, and June Scottie. Preceded in death by his parents Richard and Maxine Crapo, his in-laws Al and Joy Regenthal, and his brother-in-law James Regenthal.
